Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Maxwell's Equations are a set of fundamental relationships, which govern how electric and magnetic fields interact. The equations explain how these fields...
The new standard IEC 61439 replaces the old 60439. Compared to the old standard, the new 61439 is a more clearly defined and takes into account the assembly...
While not as popular as it once was, frame leakage protection does still have some use in some circumstances. In essence frame leakage is an earth fault...
This post is quick introduction and overview to different railway electrification voltages used in answer to a question sent in via email. While there...
Cable insulation is used to provide electrical separation between conductors of a cable. During the historical development of cables, numerous types...
Alternating current (a.c.) is the backbone of modern electrical power distribution. In this article I’ll be pulling some of the more important concepts...
IEC 60287 "Calculation of the continuous current rating of cables (100% load factor)" is the International Standard which defines the procedures and equations...
Motor starting and its associated problems are well-known to many people who have worked on large industrial processes. However, these things are, of course...
